A review by janicewangg
Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

5.0

This book took me awhile to read. Not because it was boring or anything like that, but because I was in a terrible book hangover/slump and I don't think hex hall was the book to bring me out of in. However, in the end, I really enjoyed it! I picked up this book because I had recently read Rachel Hawkins new book rebel belle which I loved and I heard hex hall was even better. Let me tell you. It was. I could not stop laughing because it was so flipping hilarious. I'm definitely continuing the series and I'm going to start demo glass soon!

SPOILERS NOWvvv

Okay so while I was reading early on in the book, I kept thinking about who the murderer could be. As the narrator, Sophie kept contemplating the idea of Jenna being the murderer, so naturally I did too, but then I kept thinking it was WAYYYYYY to obvious and I think we all knew that Jenna wasn't the murderer. So then I start thinking of all the possibilities. First I was really suspicious of the head mistress lady who ran Hecate. Then I started thinking, "how shocking would it be if archer was the murderer? I mean the hunky heartthrobs in the books are usually never the betrayer, I think archer is the one." You would not believe how happy but at the same time sad I was when we found out that archer was a member of l'ochio di dio or whatever they're called. Granted, he wasn't the one who actually murdered anyone, so I feel like he's going to get his redemption. Maybe it was all a misunderstanding because I really loved his relationship with Sophie. They were cutsie and adorable. I don't like the idea of the groundskeeper and Sophie. I mean he's nice, but I guess I'm still stuck on archer. Anyways, yeah. This book was pretty amazing. OMG I thought the cover was so ugly, but now after reading the book, I see the significance. Read this book!
